Had to put my German Shepherd down today, I'm a wreck.

Buddy I am so sorry, I have four dogs (no kids... yet) and I dread the time I will be here post the same.

Dogs are so underrated, most animals are. They do have souls - otherwise how could they give so much love and understand you so well - then be cheeky the next.


Very cute photos, esp. the first.

Oh man, I am so sorry for you dude, you have no idea - we have four dogs of our own too; we used to have five until our Boxer died a couple of years ago and that destroyed us all for weeks. I dread the day that I will have to do the same thing with one of the others.

Dogs are so great, they ask for nothing beyond a kind word and a bowl of food yet they give so much love. Truly the best friend man will ever have - you have my utmost sympathy. Ella looks like she was a wonderful dog; she will be remembered with much love I am sure.

This helped me cope, maybe it will help you too:

in which case that habit isn't stupid at all.

I'm sorry for your loss, we lost a cat recently and it's hard to lose a pet.

So sorry for your loss.

We had to put our 12 year old wolfhound down a little over 3 years ago, my wife cried for 3 days, and we had to put down our 16 year old kitty about a year & a half ago too.

For both of them I kept “seeing” them for about 2 weeks afterwards, so it’s not that strange.

We have a corgi now, talk about going from one extreme to another!
